Robin Knutson, the Olympia-based operations manager, said reception for the shuttles has been positive although they’ve yet to have bookings for the White Pass shuttle. He expects that to change based on the frequent requests he’s had for service to the White Pass.

This is the first time there has been daily shuttle service to White Pass, said resort spokeswoman Kathleen Goyette.

Each route has two 12-passenger vans with professional drivers, snow tires and room for gear. According to the company’s website, the shuttle arrives at the ski areas at 8:45-9 a.m. and departs at 3:30 p.m. Shuttles are canceled if they do not have at least four riders.
